    There is nothing objective here.

    You do realize that a store can change prices tomorrow. A new owner can buy the business in 5 years from now and can lower their costs on all items completely. Yet a quick Google search of the store will lead potential customers back to an old CR thread.

    That in itself, now or in the future can label a store indefinitely. Do not discount the power of your voice DY! People can be swayed by your comparison. That’s why ordinary people get paid to write reviews.

    Yes that gets heavy lowerourtuition11210.

    I prefer to abstain from that here.

    If you came to the CR looking to discuss the serious questions about the presidency, you are welcome to start your own thread. Why come here and rebuke the post?

    The intention here was to make a light post about the visit and how that will play out practically. Food is powerful in itself. Maybe by connecting with Israeli culture Trump will warm up B”H.

    Those little details can influence his overall experience. Or maybe I am just being hopeful and unrealistic. Anything is possible.

    Anyway prices change. So it’s unfair to publicize that X retailer’s Something is less than Y retailer’s Something.

    Tomorrow it could be the opposite. Or the store has other incentives anyway that would actually make the buyer’s overall purchase less than the retailer who supposedly had a lower sale price on the item.

    It’s advertising here in a sense and making comparisons doesn’t give a fair representation to the store. This isn’t Yelp.

    And what’s it like for people who can neither enter Χ’Φ·ΦΌΧŸ Χ’Φ΅Χ“ΦΆΧŸ nor גהנום? (OP)

    I just reread the OP. Joseph asked about what happens to someone who cannot go to Gan Eiden or Gehonim.

    What does happen? Aren’t some people stuck as spirits. Someone I know told me his LOR told him that his non-blood related relative’s spirit was stuck haunting him because this someone got involved in dark things (heavier transgressions) and he has to do teshuvah for it. That relative also sinned so that is why he was stuck as a ghost. The LOR told him to keep giving tzedakah in the relative’s name, and pray that he gets an aliyah.

    Okay honestly, is this normal? Would your LOR tell you the same? I felt like a jerk because at first I was super skeptical but I also believe in dark forces, so I really cannot say anything. I just felt like the tzedakah thing was too much because ever since then this person is still giving too much tzedakah (beyond 20% and at the expense of family priorities – but I don’t know. Maybe it is protecting him from the dead relative, may his memory be a blessing’s spirit from harming him — which the LOR seemed to be alluding to when he explained why the ghost visited him).

    Is it true that some people are stuck haunting if they cannot make it to either side, G-d forbid and lo aleinu?

    Thank you

    Depends on the medium or mediums, too.

    Visual? Digital? Fine arts? Photography?

    Audio? Musical? Lyrical? Compositional?

    Audio visual? Film? Short? Biographical? Fiction? Nonfiction?

    Written? Fiction? Nonfiction? Stores? Expositions?

    …..

    And are you expected to earn an income from the art? To make it available at no cost for consumers online? Both? Neither?

    And the supply costs and that includes time away from investing in other projects too.

    All around — Art is amazing. It outlives us. It inspires us. Comforts us. Connects us!

    OH! This reminds me of something.

    A man named Stephen got his doctorate! Did I read this joke here? Where did I read it? It was like yesterday.

    Anyway…

    Stephen finally earned his doctorate.

    Then he meets someone, and introduces himself, “Hi, I’m Stephen!”

    “Hi Stev?en! Is that Stev?en with a V or a PH?

    “Actually it’s a Stephen with a PhD.”

    Boom.

    ….So everyone here talking about semicha and no semicha and etc. What if someone was working on his semicha? What if someone got semicha and wasn’t passionate about it? What if someone is a woman who is passionate and knowledgeable and isn’t named Stephen?

    Chaver: Also, I am a fan of eating cooked cruciferous vegetables, but I dislike how my house smells after cooking them.

    My dog likes rolling around all over gross-smelling things as happiness beams across his face. I’ve often wondered if he and I have ever agreed on unpleasant scents.

    And what about my perception of scents with that of others? …….. and eventually the wondering comes into the CR in the form of a question.

    Question please: I love how you add Hebrish into your posts! So I’ve wondered this before and realized that maybe I can ask you… Why do you write “maskim” instead of “maskimah”? I wondered if maybe to be gender anonymous or neutral maybe. Or maybe this is what people say in a frum context when agreeing with each other? Wondering if it is your thing, or a common thing that I didn’t realize that women say too.

    In a TorahAnytime shiur about dating myths, the shidduch expert said that the whole, “You’ll know when it’s the right person,” is a myth. He said that it does not work like that. People go on a date and they don’t know. They go on another date and they still don’t know. If you’re not opposed to the person for strong reasons, or if you both don’t have conflicting values and goals, then go on another date. But it’s not necessarily so clear right away.

    I wonder if in retrospect, after a couple marries, the husband and/or wife feel like it was more obvious right away?

    Or… maybe people do just “know” right away. Some do. Some may not. So to say that everyone will know once it is the one may discourage some people from continuing to date the right one again.

    I don’t know. Thank you because it def helps to know that Hashem is in charge here πŸ™‚

    I haven’t been alive long enough to complain for 150 years.

    Just because someone is expressing dissatisfaction for a long time doesn’t mean that you can discard it. Racism doesn’t exist. All those people with darker skin colors have been complaining for hundreds of years now about stuff. They had their chance but stop complaining. They need to stop imagining problems. Law of Attraction. Think good and it will be good. There is nothing to fear but fear itself.

    Nor does saying that you had the opportunity to do something and didn’t make any sense.

    Listen while you were up there on Mount Everest you could have taken a selfie! Why didn’t you? Because you had a short window of time to make it to the top and there were people in line and if you took a few extra minutes your lungs could have collapsed and no one needs a dead body crashing into them? Posh posh it’s all your fault!

    If you believe in Democracy than you should accept that anyone can be our president even if he comes with a ton of baggage and incites violence on our people! Because in the end I think he is good for America and my interests! Roar!

    I once dated a really amazing guy and he was the least attractive. I didn’t want to date him at first because I was too chutzpahdik. He ended up being so good and became more attractive to me in time. The health thing did get to me after a while. Plus we had different life goals though so it didn’t work out.

    But on that basis of life experience and obviously knowing that there are more than looks in life I can see how I can be wrong. At the same time, I still contest to admonishing all women/girls for even requesting an image.

    Joseph would vanquish the women if they don’t?

    I see Joseph calling on the Beis Din.

    What if their husbands have unhalachic requests? Such as, “Wife, I want you to use two Oreos instead Challot at the Shabbos table!”

    Or, “Wife, boil my sugar with a side of coffee and cream!”

    Or G-d forbid, “Wife, I got a booboo. Bring me a Garfield bandaid now!”*

    Okay so the guy can get all dressed up for the photo but that in itself can be a lesson in being presentable. Maybe it is dishonest. I don’t know.

    RebYidd23: Good point about how saying women are for beauty is objectifying. It just adds more pressure in my humble opinion. I already know guys who talk about how looks matter to them. Maybe I want a guy who sees more than looks.

    And showing guys pics puts pressure to always be perfect looking. But maybe there is the right balance of guy to date. Maybe being less attractive in photos helps women ensure that the guy isn’t being so superficial? Is that crazy?
